The best of modern progressive...

"Troy Van Leeuwen has been involved in some great, high profile acts such as A Perfect Circle and Queens Of The Stone Age, but he steps out on his own with "Hooray For Dark Matter," the debut album from his band ENEMY.
ENEMY steps away from the from the "created for radio" predictable mold with this adventurous yet melodic dark Rock record.
I really like the anthemic track "The Treatment" which swells so big that you think the song might explode. And the murkier "It's No Joke" paints an erie and enigmatic sonic picture. I also really like ENEMY's version of Nick Cave's "City Of Refuge."
If you're looking for something different and moody yet stunningly bold, check this record out."
